Kelly Callahan,
Thanks for all the hard work you’re doing to improve health of people all around the world for twenty years. Interesting Podcast about the Trachoma [blindness] Control Program and the Guinea Worm eradication in African countries. GWD is spread by drinking water containing Guinea worm larvae I’ve read. Clean water is so important. Glad to hear you have so many prestigious partners, such as former President Carter, working on these programs. I think the internet is a great place for sharing medical breakthroughs with people everywhere. There are several pages devoted to new medical research on Facebook.
Sincerely,
